God of Truth

Secret Keeper
Bringer of Joy


Tua is an OC from the mun's own original fiction based in the universe of the Danae nebula. He is one of the two last remaining animal gods of Keldra. He is Kayori, of a sort - anori, to be precise - but not a humanoid.

In many ways he's wise, but he's also naive in some respects. Humanoids beings baffle him constantly. He has certain expectations that are not always met, which confuse him. He is not arrogant or a snob, but he is a god, and often forgets that other people do not know or care about this.

He's around 3000 years old, but has spent some centuries in a sort of stasis, in the mother nebula. Tua is a sweetie, but can be a bit circumspect, or fail to offer information, which can result in confusion. He's essentially aligned with good, and is benevolent. He has no real power, but as an animal god he can survive lack of air, outer space, deep sea underwater pressures, and anything else that will kill a mortal. His only real power, as with most of the gods who align with the element of air, are of the mind. Tua is not exactly psychic, he receives his knowledge from the Akashic record, which can be intermittent or may have gaps.

He likes to fly, but he can also teleport.

He has a certain degree of empathic psychic skill (can feel emotions but not read minds) and knows when he's being lied to, unless the liar is more powerful than he is, which is possible. He's not a chieftain, after all.

He can recognise the real truth for what it is, and prefers to speak it. He also fully realises that there can be more than one truth, for example the truth as seen from different points of view. He also keeps secrets. He will never reveal your pup's secrets if they ask him not to... unless his loved ones, or innocent lives, are in danger from such a secret.

Tua is capable of lying, but is very cautious about doing such a thing. He can see the basic truth when it is staring him in the face - although his definition of something staring him in the face would be our definition of "How the hell did you know that?"

He values truth and acts as both advisor and witness for the Kayori - the gods of Keldra. He is generally believed about everything, and is highly respected for his insight, because although Tua is not incapable of lying, he seldom does.

Not when it matters.

And it always matters.

So never ask him "Does my bum look big in this".

Some background in canon:

The great wolf lies in the belly of the world, and the carp sleeps at the bottom of the ocean. Neither will have any more truck with the warring Kaldoan gods. there is one other, Keshar, the ribbon-snake. She is young, and Tua is her mentor.

Tua fled the planet and flew into the nebula many centuries ago, when he discovered that Tai Ravenhead had used his knowledge of DNA manipulation to turn the very young Drake Kaelen into a vampire.

Drake's crime was to lose his temper and badly beat his then-lover, Vahl Ravenhead, Tai's son. Drake was goaded into this by Vahl himself, or rather Vahl's twin, Versha, who has always controlled nearly everything Vahl did until her death in the recent war. Tua could not reconcile his love for Tai with such a terrible and vengeful act, and so he returned to the Mother with a broken heart.

After the most recent and terrible war, during which Tai Ravenhead was killed, Tua encountered his spirit in the mother nebula. The two were finally reconciled and once he'd had time to grieve, the owl returned to Keldra. The surviving gods would need him.

Originally created by the nebula for Tai Ravenhead as a child, Tua was a mentor and moral guide for the gods as children. His name means Truth, in the ancient tongue, and he is known as the god of truth.
